I don't have any problem with depending on a CC licensed artifact, but I'm troubled by the notion that an artifact would be installed into a Maven repository by "not the author".

Would it be possible for you to contact the owner and ask if they would publish it to a Maven repo themselves?

I think that specific CC license should be fine and should be added to our list of "Akin to Apache" at http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html

Any -1s from the Legal PMC?

I'd like to add JCIP annotations to some Java projects.

The JCIP jar is available under the:

Creative Commons Attribution License - http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5

This does not seem to be mentioned anywhere on the current 3rd party page draft (apart from a passing reference to icons).

As far as I can tell, the JCIP annotations jar is only needed at compile time, however users would not be able to rebuild without it, so it's not an optional dependency.

Also if the jar is not included in the project distribution, it would need to be installed in a Maven repository - which seems to me to be akin to distribution...

Can we use JCIP in projects and add it to Maven repos?
